For Celine Dion, he was everything: her husband, her friend, her manager and advisor … But it was a tragic fate for René Angelil, father of three children with the singer – René-Charles Angélil, Eddy Angelil and Nelson Angelil. Achieved a particularly aggressive throat cancer, he lived with the disease for many years. If we didn't have the details of her torment caused by the virulence of her cancer, but also of her treatment, Celine Dion's biographer Elisabeth Reynaud said more in an interview with Gala and published on Sunday February 28, 2021. The biographer has just released her third book on the singer entitled Celine Dion – icon and woman with heart, published by Larousse, in which she recounts the couple's ordeal during the last days of René's life: "He was puffy, had no tongue, he couldn't eat, was blind and deaf and Celine was feeding him by tubeThe singer has never abandoned her husband, to whom she recently paid a moving tribute, five years after his death.
Celine Dion took care of René during his tours
If those moments were simply appalling for the singer, she had to keep going on stage so as not to disappoint her fans, while staying by her husband's side and taking care of him: "Celine was going on stage in glitter and the hour after, she was feeding René by tube while he was dying and it lasted for months", adds Elisabeth Reynaud.

Today, after difficult years, Celine Dion is getting back on her feet, still going strong. And for several years, rumors about the possible wish of the singer to have a fourth child. The biographer solves the mystery on this theory: "It's a recurring desire in her, but now she's past the age". It is therefore understandable that she will continue to honor the memory of her husband other than with a new child.
